WOW...that GT3 is the "SHIT!"  Hard to imagine from a manufacturer that brought us the 100LS, the 5000, and unintended acceleration, huh?

Hmmm I love the white.  I caught a glimpse of a gray or black one here right by my work one morning about a month ago.  Pretty wild.

Here's some photos I took at the Mid-Ohio Racetrack last year ... that stinky diesel did pretty freakin well too..






This one's off-topic for this discussion, but sorta on-topic for the website... so I figure you guys can appreciate it..

Funny that you also took a picture of the price tag; 186 000 USD. Thats 950 000 Norwegian kroner.. Ok, I had little look around to compare and I found 3 R8 for sale in Norway. Here is one;

http://www.finn.no/finn/car/object?finnkode=12191532&sid=xz9sfam2h3b464855&WT.svl=Bilde

Look at the price; 2 039 000 Norwegian krones! And it is a used car!

I then used the import calculator from the customs in Norway and punched the numbers;

Engangsavgiften for dette kjøretøyet blir som følger:
 
Avgift for egenvekt:                                   103 537,90
Avgift for motoreffekt:                                529 243,20
Avgift for slagvolum:                                   252 084,00
Engangsavgift for tilsvarende nytt kjøretøy:   884 865,10
Bruksfradrag (0%): 0,00
Vrakpantavgift:                                              1 300,00
Totalt                                                       886 165,00
MVA:                                                        252 030,00
Engangsavgift + MVA:                               1 138 195,00

That 1 138 195 Norwegian krones in taxes + the cost of the car 950 000 Norwegian krones... + of course the freight, insurance etc etc. In other words, if I went to Sarge and bought the R8 it will cost me approx 429 057 USD before I can turn the key and have fun

Around the same as we have (http://www.oikotie.fi/cache?exit=show_car_used&id=1581356) with our taxing system.

Honestly, I would have lost it if I did pay 429 057 USD for that R8 just to be passed by Sarge in his looker on the highway.

You guys! Roll Eyes Grin  The interesting thing about the one we have in the showroom is that we are a VW / Audi (under one roof) dealership.  Audi will not even let us have an R8 unless we are a stand-alone Audi dealership (which will happen some time in 2009 when the franchise splits and moves across the street).  A customer who knows our owner bought the white car for what we believe to be around $130,000 from another dealership and sold it to us to put on the showroom for a "slight" mark-up.  How's that? Shocked Huh Roll Eyes

The R10 is awesome but so was the R8 gas/turbo race car it replaced.
Do you suppose the R8 race engine specs were more impressive than the 917/30 with over 1200hp available?
These motors were built 35 years apart, be cool to see dyno specs for both.
